THE IOWA BREEDERS.

Certainly fortune smiles upon the
breeder of the trotting horse, and no.
where more brightly than upon the trot-
ting horse breeders of Iowa. We have fire.
quently written our opinion to this effect,
and are led to repeat it by the modest
card Of Albert Lambert, which appears
in our advertising columns. Here is
blood which Iowa breeders want, and
every thinking man among them knows
it. There are these things to be thought
of. If there ever existed family of
general purpose horses equal to the Nor
gans, the world has yet to learn t..
Their game and endurance were inexhaus-
tible. No day and no road were long
enough to tire them out. They were
wonderful draft horses. No other fami-
ly before or since has ever exhibited sup
erior intelligence. No wonder that as
the qualities of these horses become more
and more understood by breeders, there
is a great revival in behalf of the Nor

PROSPECTUS.

The increasing prosperity of the REGISTER is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't tenth part of what we intend it shall
be. The REGISTER is the highest authority in
the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times its
subscription price = valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus, dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse Lady surrey dam
of Henry Clay; Tom Thumb, e. 5. OF Green's
Bashaw Leonidas, reputed e. ;. of Biggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is eminently the kind of intorma-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper. 1t is the American gentle
mans paper tor the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
local and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some of these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
of the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

Spread the circulation. We want the REGIS

AS before announced, all horses, mares and

The chance of securing the national encamp

Indianapolis next year has not altogether gone

commodations The executive committee of the
national department will shortly take account of
the means Columbus command in entertain
ing the thousands who will attend the encamp-
ment, and if it is found that they are not suf
ficient and cannot be made so, another city will
be selected. Indianapolis it is said be the
place If the proper effort is made, provided the
committee decides to take the encampment from
Columbus.
To-day the national committee of the Pro-
hibition party meets in Chicago to select the
place for a national convention next year

marked yesterday that there would probably be
a consideration of some new method of operat-

lists sustain This, he thought, was made
essary by the recent election in Atlanta which
he believed would lead to material change in

What was once known as 'Lepers'
Land on St. Johns bayou, is now
built up with pretty houses. 1t gained
lis name from the fact that when Spain
ruled the land Governor Miro
founded hospital on this spot. Rebecca
Harding Davis, who is now travel
ling in the Acadian country, writes on
the subject of the Louisiana lepers in
her Southern article in the November
Harper. from information gained from
the parish priest. The dreadful disease
first made its appearance twenty years
ago in Abbeville. The first
to be attacked was an old creole lady,
her father having probably brought the
tainted blood from France. When the
white scales appeared upon her face
her family all fled away from her
in terror, even her husband. \ young
woman nursed her for three years, un-
til the old woman died at last. A
few years afterward she married
young farmer and lived hap
PLY with him in little cabin
on the edge of the swamp. One
day a shining white spot appeared on
her forehead. In four years she was

families can only go Off to some secluded
spot in the wilderness and wait their
summons. The real Land of the Lep-
ers," as it is called in French,is situated
on the lower Lafourche, below Harang's
canal. The bayou there is turbid and
foul; it flows through malariOus swamps
lower than itself. The creole hunters
there are honest and temperate folks,
but they are wretchedly poor. They
raise only rice, and live on it and fish.
The wet rice fields come up to
the very doors of their cabins. The lep-
rosy which certain families among
them have inherited is developed by
these conditions. Five years ago Prof.
Joseph Jones, president of the state
board of health. went himself with his
son to explore the cypress swamps and
lagoonS of the lower Lafourche. 1t is
the region of the shadow of death. He
found many poor lepers hiding there.
They were as dead men who walk and
talk. They could handle burning Goals;
they felt no longer cold. nor heat, nor
pain. Their bodies were as cOrpses.
One man lived alone i'll a hut matched
with palmettoes, which he had built for
himself, eating only the rice which he
had planted. No man nor woman had
come near him for years.

Near Maestricht, in Belgium, is a
ladies' boarding school conducted by
sisters OF holy order, with a superior
at its head. A few weeks ago young
giady was intruSted to them with a
particular warning to take good care
of her and not allow her any pri-
waite society. Last week an old lady of
distinguished look came to the place
and asked for the girl, saying she was
Sent by the parents to take her home.
The sister called the bOarder and
said she would go for the lady superior
to talk to the stranger. When the
superior entered the room she
found it empty. The visitor had assisted
the boarder to escape by climbing the
wall of the back garden and had fol-
lowed her. The marks left by the VS.
itOr's boots reused the terrible suspicion
that the lady visitor had actually been
man in disguise.

ing it with her" the idea is not of books
or reading matter, for it is sort of
eleventh impOsSibility to read while in
bath of this kind. One may be able
to lie luxuriOuSly in ones bedtime tub
and skim through the story of the hour;
one may read in train on a car; while
driving in the country; or, like mes
Senger boy, while walking down the
street; but in the Turkish bath it is an
impOSSibility. The amusement of books
being cut off, it follows that one must
either be an amusement to ones self or
employ those about for that same pur-
pose, says Fannie b. Merrill in the New
York Star.
To truly enjoy the physical delights
First, an absolute indifference as to the
fro: and second, mind that will Obedi-
emily think of nothing in particular, Or,
at most, of suitably poetic and artistic
subjects. The mother of ''Helen's
Babies often says to her intimates that
never since Bulge came to her has she
ever had a grief Or trouble so severe
but what she could take her baby on
her arm or her bed and forget it all.
This, in different application, is the
sense of the feeling one may easily find
in these luxurious hOthOuSeS. 1t must,
indeed, be great trouble which can
haunt one who is bent on enjoying these
delicious sensations of languOr and of
laZiness, and of cleanliness and cOZinesS
which all true devOteeS know so well.
But if one, perchance. should desire
more tangible amusement, let her first

We have all observed how cleverly

To do you further justice let us sup
